Announcements

The Safety Series is back. Join the Department of Public Safety for a six-week series focused on campus safety and emergency preparedness. Each week features expert-led training on topics such as CPR, active threat, Stop the Bleed, fire safety, emergency preparedness, and self-defense. Attend one session or all six.

• Sept. 18 — Hands-Only CPR
• Sept. 25 — Active Threat
• Oct. 2 — Stop the Bleed
• Oct. 9 — Fire Safety
• Oct. 16 — Emergency Preparedness
• Oct. 23 — Self-Defense

Sessions are open to UR faculty and staff members. Space is limited to 30 participants per session, so reserve a spot in Workday.

This cohort creates a space for senior teaching and tenured faculty to reflect on meaningful goals, renewed purpose, and the next phase of their professional lives.

While the program will support faculty members who are contemplating promotion to full professor, its larger goal is to encourage faculty thriving in mid-career, whatever that might look like for each participant. Participants should have 6–10 years’ experience at UR, but anyone who believes this experience could be valuable is welcome to apply. 

The cohort will meet 4 times over the course of the semester for 75 minutes. Participants will also have an opportunity to take part in a one-on-one consultation with program facilitators. Participants are expected to attend all four meetings and to complete short homework assignments in between sessions. 

Please sign up by Sept. 24.
